Product description

Review

"The text is readable and has a nice slightly informal tone to it that I think the students will respond well to. It covers the basic ideas well with a good range of applications in the later chapters."

On the inclusion of the new applications, "Absolutely!!! We have an Engineering Physics program here and this is exactly the sort of thing we are looking for in our books and classes."

Raymond A. Serway is Professor Emeritus at James Madison University. He earned his doctorate at Illinois Institute of Technology. Among his accolades, he received an honorary doctorate degree from his alma mater, Utica College, the 1990 Madison Scholar Award at James Madison University (where he taught for 17 years), the 1977 Distinguished Teaching Award at Clarkson University and the 1985 Alumni Achievement Award from Utica College. As a Guest Scientist at the IBM Research Laboratory in Zurich, Switzerland, Dr. Serway worked with K. Alex M�ller, who shared the 1987 Nobel Prize in Physics. He also was a visiting scientist at Argonne National Laboratory, where he collaborated with his mentor and friend, the late Sam Marshall. In addition to this text, Dr. Serway is the co-author of COLLEGE PHYSICS, Eleventh Edition; PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS, Fifth Edition; ESSENTIALS OF COLLEGE PHYSICS; MODERN PHYSICS, Third Edition; and the high school textbook PHYSICS, published by Holt McDougal. He has published more than 40 research papers in the field of condensed matter physics and has given more than 60 presentations at professional meetings.

Clement J. Moses is Emeritus Professor of Physics at Utica College. He was born and brought up in Utica, NY, and holds an A.B. from Hamilton College, an M.S. from Cornell University, and a Ph.D. from State University of New York at Binghamton. He has over 30 years of science writing and teaching experience at the college level, and is a co-author of College Physics, 6th edition, with Serway and Faughn. His research work, both in industrial and university settings, has dealt with defects in solids, solar cells, and the dynamics of atoms at surfaces. In addition to science writing, Dr. Moses enjoys reading novels, gardening, cooking, singing, and going to operas.

Curt A. Moyer is Professor and Chair of the Department of Physics and Physical Oceanography at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington. He came to UNC-Wilmington in 1999. Before that, he had been a member of the Physics Department at Clarkson University since 1974. He has written numerous research articles in the fields of condensed matter physics and surface science. Dr. Moyer is an experienced teacher and an advocate for the uses of computers in education. He prepared the web-based QMTools software that accompanies this text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Text
Reviewed in the United States on 24 July 2018

It is modern, but not that modern anymore. I want Future Physics.

This does a very good job of introducing history, background, and foundational concepts in physics. This was what made picking up quantum mechanics so much simpler...but not fully understandable...because who truly knows quantum physics?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Modern Physics Book, Though Could Be Bought Cheaper Elsewhere
Reviewed in Canada on 23 January 2016
Verified Purchase
The international version is exactly the same from the one I was expected to buy at over two hundred dollars, apart from maybe some small details here and there. However, there are cheaper versions than the one I bought, so it may be something you should look into.
The book arrived almost a month before the first estimated arrival date, which was very surprising but exciting for me!
As for the book itself, it's a good read. Concepts are explained well, and the authors make a (successful) attempt at conveying information in an entertaining way. The book has examples throughout that relate to the problems and questions at the end of each chapter, thus, you never feel uneasy doing the problems. If ever you do have a problem, there is a solution's manual available online (along with the book itself). Important formulas are highlighted and explained.
So far I have no complaints with the book and, considering my teacher for the class is garbage, I'm glad this is the book we are using.

So far the other reviews I have read (positive ones) are very accurate. I have just began the class so I cannot comment much on the material. I just wanted to say that I ordered this book along with the solutions manual, both brand new from Amazon and I received them at least one day before the actual expected date.
